Which, in turn, suggests "The Hornless Dogs"...another great "nom du
musique" for a latter-day rock band...?! "Dogless Horns" would, of
course, inherently compete with "The Muscle Shoals Horns" of Soul-
Music fame...?!

However, as advances in MIDI technology render human-populated
"horn sections" increasingly obsolete...one wonders how long it
will be before our streets are crowded with digitally-replaced
saxophone/brass players bearing signs reading "Spare Change,
Or Gigs Playing <wotever>?!"
